	Petzold's last column in _PC Magazine_ (Sep 11,Vol 9 no 15 ) 
	contained the first in a multi-part series on Bitmaps.  It discusses
	OS/2 1.x, OS/2 2.0, Windows 2.x, and Windows 3.0.  Future issues
	should have code to deal with these different types of bitmaps.

	I don't know much about OS/2's Font structure so I do not know the
	answer to that part of the question.  Petzold has covered OS/2 fonts
	in some previous issues of _PC Magazine_.

	Hope this helps.
